Using VPN is illegal in Russia, let me ask you, what are you doing here in the first place? According to the Russian laws, you're here illegally and you will be prosecuted. was not addressed to @NotHereToPlayGames, but to someone else. See my quote! And TBH, something like this shouldn't really happen. And certainly not to a native speaker if you are one.

Poor machine translation is one of the probable reasons. Please use DeepL or Google to translate the cited BBC articles into Russian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government is a political organisation, therefore - the member's postings, and even the account presence, are violating the forum rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Russia is blocked because of spammers. Nothing wrong with Russian people posting here, if they are breaking a law in their own country then that is something they will have to deal with themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xao_Fan-Tzilin Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 3 hours ago, Dixel said: 1 - MSFN board is not available in Russia without VPN! 2 - VPN is illegal in Russia. 3 - Checkmate. So - we shouldn't see any Russians here at all. Again a lie. In Russia, VPN is not prohibited, and access (in one way or another, as best as possible) to resources blocked by government agencies is also not prohibited. In Russia, only propaganda and dissemination of ways to bypass blocking are prohibited. Nothing more. So you still have to see the presence of russians on this resource. Fight with the Russian government or your own government, but not with the russians, we haven’t done anything bad to you (specifically to you!). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governments should be political organisations but some of them are organisations only, who are nevertheless responsible for their citizens, but their citizens are also responsible for such "governments".
